Driven by Excellence

What Sets Us Apart

The Federation of Independent Dealers brings together professionals from across the financial services industry. Our membership includes journalists, directors, developers, and other professionals excelling in their respective fields.

We are dedicated to creating a welcoming and supportive community for all members. Our focus is on providing support on regulatory matters and networking opportunities with peers who understand the unique challenges of independent dealerships.

For nearly three decades, we have been the voice of independent dealers in Canada, advocating for fair regulation, providing educational resources, and fostering connections that help our members thrive.

30 Years of Service

Founded in 1996, the Federation of Independent Dealers has grown from a small group of like-minded professionals into Canada's leading voice for independent securities and mutual fund dealers.

Many of our members have contributed for over two decades, with some dedicating nearly thirty years to our community. This longevity speaks to the value our members find in being part of the Federation.

Throughout our history, we have championed the interests of independent dealers, working closely with regulators to ensure that policy decisions consider the unique needs and contributions of our sector.
